At some point during the ceremony, the pop superstar — who got engaged to Travis Kelce last month — “joked in the speech that Selena beat her to altar, but at least they both have found the loves of their lives,” according to the Daily Mail.
While at some points humorous, the speech was overall “so beautiful” that it left the bride and several guests “crying,” per the outlet.
Swift, 35, reportedly talked talked about “always having Selena’s back and how they are sisters — and that while Selena may see Taylor as the big sister, Taylor sees Selena as teaching her so much.”
A second source told the Daily Mail that the “Blank Space” singer also “talked about how she and Selena have both been through so much together, both professionally and personally, [and] said that whenever one of them had their hearts broken from failed relationship[s] over the years, they were always there for each other.”
Swift reportedly told guests that it was only when the “Lose You to Love Me” songstress “finally came to the realization that she was just fine with who she was and concentrated on being just her that she fell in love with Benny.”
She went on to call music producer Blanco “the most perfect person” for her pal.
“It isn’t luck that they found each other; it’s love,” she added, according to the outlet.
Swift also reportedly described the newlyweds as the “perfect pair,” noting that “in all the years she has known Selena, she has never seen her so happy.”
Gomez and Blanco began dating in the summer of 2023, as did Swift and NFL star Kelce, who plays for the Kansas City Chiefs.
When Gomez and Blanco announced their engagement in December 2024, Swift publicly joked that she would be their flower girl.
